As an educator and expert with a PhD in sustainable living, Kate knows how striving for eco-perfection sets us up for failure. This came to a head for Kate personally when she had children, and realised that the idyllic, sustainable lifestyle she had cultivated for herself over the years was no longer attainable for her or her family. Finding that her eco-values were eclipsed by convenience consumerism amid the sleep-deprived chaos, Kate traded her veggie patch for home delivery and her op-shop frocks for impulsive online buys, and was riddled with eco-guilt on a daily basis. In Live More with Less, Kate encourages everyone to act on climate change by living their own shade of green instead. This pragmatic and inspiring handbook is filled with entertaining anecdotes from sustainability leaders and everyday eco-her oes, as well as Kate’s handy tips to reduce consumerism and your mental load. With Kate walking alongside you, learn how to build new, planet-friendly habits that work with our imperfect reality, such as: • Cutting your grocery bills while boosting your nourishment • Choosing connection over consumerism for creative kids • Developing a simple self-car e routine that doesn’t buy into a beauty industry that thrives on our insecurities • Elevating your wardrobe and solving the mystery of how you can own so many clothes yet have nothing to wear • Restoring the joy of Christmas while cutting the consumerism and the cost. Live More With Less is for anyone wanting to make confident, sustainable choices to upgrade their life – for good.
